abstract

We review the holographic correspondence between field theories and string/M theory, focusing on the relation between compactifications of string/M theory on Anti-de Sitter spaces and conformal field theories. We review the background for this correspondence and discuss its motivations and the evidence for its correctness. We describe the main results that have been derived from the correspondence in the regime that the field theory is approximated by classical or semiclassical gravity. We focus on the case of the N=4 supersymmetric gauge theory in four dimensions, but we discuss also field theories in other dimensions, conformal and non-conformal, with or without supersymmetry, and in particular the relation to QCD. We also discuss some implications for black hole physics.

After the Fluid: Subexponential Decay in AdS$_4$

hep-th · 2026-05-18 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Real-analytic perturbations of AdS4 black branes exhibit stretched-exponential decay exp(-c t^{5/6}) controlled by the large-k tail of the quasinormal mode spectrum.

The 2-Dimensional Dual of $\phi^4$ in AdS$_3$

hep-th · 2026-02-05 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

The one-loop diagram in conformally coupled φ⁴ theory in AdS₃ is expressed as an infinite sum of tree-level diagrams, summed via number-theoretic conjectures to give analytic anomalous dimensions for all dual double-trace operators, with new results in t- and u-channels.

Chaos of Berry curvature for BPS microstates

hep-th · 2026-04-25 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Berry curvature of BPS states is random-matrix-like for supersymmetric black hole microstates but non-random and often zero for horizonless geometries, offering a chaos diagnostic in degenerate sectors.

Hofstadter's Butterfly in AdS$_3$ Black Holes

hep-th · 2026-04-15 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A single-band lattice model on the BTZ cylinder produces a curvature-dependent Harper equation whose spectra show sharpened butterfly fragmentation at weak curvature and suppressed magnetic response near larger horizons.

Holographic Equidistribution

hep-th · 2026-02-12 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Equidistribution of Hecke operators in large N CFT limits reduces the partition function to light-state Poincaré series with an immediate interpretation as sums over handlebody geometries.

Toward Krylov-based holography in double-scaled SYK

hep-th · 2025-10-26 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Establishes a threefold duality linking Krylov complexity growth rate to wormhole velocity and proper momentum in DSSYK holography, with higher moments capturing replica wormholes and Krylov entropy equaling parent-geometry von Neumann entropy after tracing baby universes.

Carrollian Perspective on Celestial Holography

hep-th · 2022-02-09 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A 3d sourced conformal Carrollian field theory is proposed to holographically capture 4d flat gravity kinematics, with Ward identities matching 2d celestial CFT after relating operators.

Confinement in a finite duality cascade

hep-th · 2026-04-20 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Holographic checks confirm area-law confinement, anomaly-matching domain walls via 2+1D TQFT, and unstable axionic strings implying no massless axions in this finite duality cascade model.
